Integrated with public Azure Container Registry and local harbor as a container repository, DeviceOn
simplifies container lifecycle management to build, store, secure, scan, replicate, and manage
container images. In addition, the DeviceOn container management GUI enables developers tostreamline AI development, deployment, and patching.

Bridge the gap: Cloud AI/ML vs. Edge Production
Edge AI encompasses more than just executing models on edge devices; it also entails accelerated
training, efficient deployment, and model enhancement at reduced costs. An increasing number ofcompanies now opt for public cloud services to train their AI models.
DeviceOn revolutionizes the AI deployment process by offering an automated, end-to-end pipeline thatis ten times faster. This breakthrough enables experts with diverse skill sets to collaborate seamlessly
in training and deploying AI on the edge. The pipeline encompasses Container Management, OTA
Update, and API/SDK, forming a comprehensive cloud-to-edge AI workflow that spans from modeltraining to data acq uisition.

Schedule Emergency Medical Equipment Checks

Project Introduction:​
Like fire extinguishers, AED are distributed around public infrastructure for use in emergencies — and are thus hard to manage andmaintain. AED must remain able to function even when in sleep mode.

Our Solution:​
Advantech DeviceOn provides a cloud solution that periodically self-tests AED devices and ensures functional integrity. The solution
includes a timed self-test and self-awake connection to ensure power supply over a long period of time. In addition, DeviceOn
provides a visual map on the dashboard that displays failed equipment, maintenance events, notifications, and firmware OTAupdates.

Highlighted Features ​• A cloud solution is needed to periodically self-test AED devices to ensure functional integrity• A timed self-test and self-awake connection ensures power supply over a long period of time
• Visual map dashboard highlights failed equipment, maintenance events, notifications, and firmware OTA updates.

Auto System Recovery Boosts Smart Grid Availability

Project Introduction:​Smart grids fail for myriad reasons. One of their main weakness is a vulnerability to hacking and sabotage. This is due to theirreliance on the cloud — a fragile and complex network of data centers that is more susceptible to blackouts than traditional systems.

Our Solution:​DeviceOn can be hosted on public cloud where it delivers device and data management for widely-distributed applications . Thesystem auto-recovery feature provided by DeviceOn ensures smart grid availability even after a system failure. Utility companies
or grid operators can leverage DeviceOn key features into their front-end interface — these features include real-time monitoring,
remote control, notifications, and OTA updates.

Highlighted Features ​• Provisioned cloud infrastructure; device and data management solutions for widely-distributed EV chargers• Protocol converter connects critical components within EV chargers• A flow control and inference engine for predictive maintenance• A situation room manages key information from the real-time power generation status

Semiconductor & Smart Production Applications

Project Introduction:​
Device management in semiconductor manufacturing is a complex process that requires careful attention to detail.The need tomanage large numbers of devices while ensuring their proper and efficient operation presents manufacturers with unique challenges.

Our Solution:​A global semiconductor company chose to use Advantech’s DeviceOn to enable remote control and real-time monitoring. By
ensuring the immediate reporting of emergency events, DeviceOn reduces the system downtime caused by abnormal conditions.
Managers can now actively monitor a large number of production devices and receive notifications (via Email, SMS) whenequipment fails. DeviceOn simplifies troubleshooting for semiconductor fabrication plants by providing an easy-to-use interface thatmonitors device health.

Highlighted Features ​• Monitor numerous production process management devices at any time — including software and hardware health• Notify administrators (via Email or SMS) if equipment fails, and conduct OTA SW/FW updates• Remote troubleshooting reduces equipment repair time and improves production utilization

90-Second Transport Hub Solutions via DeviceOn

Project Introduction:​Managing digital signage in public areas can be challenging. Pop-up windows and frozen screens can be caused by a variety ofissues — including software bugs, hardware problems, and overheatin.

Our Solution:​A major airport in China deployed a new FIDS (information display systems) solution developed by Advantech to deliver instantbroadcasts to passengers. According to the customer, DeviceOn enables remote management capabilities that enhance customer
experiences and efficiency. DeviceOn’s built-in AI-powered anomaly detection feature helps minimize the problems caused by popup windows, frozen screens, and other playback errors; ensuring smooth operation and preventing public communication problems.

Highlighted Features ​• Anomaly detection• Blue screen recovery• Windows popup blocker• Automated alert notifications• Auto system backup & recovery
